Rep. Frank Pallone has become one of Speaker Nancy Pelosi's key allies to contain the Democratic Party's aggressive liberal surge
Democratic leaders have purposefully slow-walked the progressive plans pushed by Ocasio-Cortez and others. The subject of Medicare-for-All has received hearings in three committees — but not the Energy and Commerce panel, which also oversees health policy.
But a recent battle over an emergency spending package to address the border crisis has left liberals fuming after their priorities were ignored in the final deal. Rep. Mark Pocan, co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, even warned that his group might retaliate by taking a harder line on top Democratic priorities that come to the floor.. “It’s just going to be a lot harder for us to care to help deliver votes.
Pallone, meanwhile, has purposefully chosen to focus on the things he thinks can actually pass his committee, survive the House floor and in some cases even be considered by the GOP-controlled Senate. “Hope springs eternal,” Pallone said. “I do think that on prescription drugs he’s pushing Republicans in the Congress, and probably the same on the infrastructure bill. There are definitely Republicans who would like to vote for all of these things.”
